The hearing, which took place Monday, March 6, was held in order to show student support of the bill, being voted on in the next years elections. The legislation would make it illegal for anyone to bring a weapon, concealed or otherwise, into a school or other community type building such as a church. The resolution was passed by a margin of 67 to 13 by the Academic Senate. Ben McAdams, Student Body President of the University of Utah, who has been an avid supporter of this legislation, said that he hopes to see "faculty and students all across the state make their voices heard concerning this issue." This resolution comes directly from a decision of the UCSP, (Utah Council of Student" Body Presidents) of which Student Body President, Baron A. Rohbock is a member.

Last semester, a poll was conducted by Carrington Johnson, Student Body Chief Justice, asking students what they thought about the issue. The results of the poll, which takes into account the answers of 1,029 students here at UVSC, were overwhelmingly in favor of passing the resolution. 78 percent of the students polled said that they did not believe that concealed weapons should be allowed on campus, and 70 percent said they would be in favor of legislation banning them at schools. In response to this survey, the Associated Students of UVSC said that they would "fight to prevent concealed weapons on campus."Peter Walters, UVSC student said, "I feel it's high time that a measure like this is taken into consideration. I hope that the senate makes a decision that will benefit communities and schools." Many other students voiced this same opinion, that there simply is no place for guns on our campus. The results of this vote will not affect the concealed weapons classes currently offered through the continuing education program here at UVSC, because those classes are under close supervision, and offered off-campus.
